Frequently asked questions

What does the MWC1898 Hinge Packer Shim do?

The MWC1898 is a door hinge alignment shim for the Land Rover Defender up to 2016. It fits between the hinge and its mounting face to set door alignment. Adding or removing shims adjusts the panel gap so the door sits flush and latches cleanly.

How many MWC1898 shims are typically needed for door alignment?

A Defender door has two hinges, and alignment typically requires one or more shims per hinge. Most door alignment jobs use multiple shims across both hinges. Buy a handful rather than a single shim to give yourself adjustment options.

When do you need a door hinge shim on a Defender?

You need a shim when a Defender door doesn't sit flush, drops at the latch side, or fails to close cleanly. This is common on older Defenders due to hinge wear and body flex. Shims are also disturbed during door removal, so order a few before any door-off work.
